My home renovations have slowly but surely been coming along. My next big projects are my bathrooms. Not complete renovations, although that would be nice, but changing out the pedestal sinks and maybe a new tub for the master bathroom.
I bought this vanity/sink for my guest bathroom today. I saw it a few weeks ago and thought it was nice, but when I walked into the store today with my dad and saw that it was on clearance, I had to buy it. I love good a clearance item!
PS - That rug you see to the right of the vanity is from when I was a baby. It is a picture of three men in the tub, from the rub-a-dub-dub nursery rhyme. My mom kept it all these years and gave it back to me when I bought my own house. Now, it resides in my guest bathroom.
I bought my first Groupon today. I have been tempted quite a few times to buy random things like massages, haircuts and food, but never felt tempted enough to spend the money.
However, I can never pass up a discount on clothes. I hate spending full price for clothes and shoes, so when I saw the $25 for $50 worth of clothes, including sale items, from Gap, I couldn’t pass it up.
I am pretty intrigued by their new line of black pants, which apparently don’t wrinkle or attract lint. With all of my travel, those could come in handy. I could also use some new jeans. Maybe a new white button down, because white button downs always end up looking dingy. And their blazers are pretty cute.
Well, that $25 (and more!) was spent before I even got the Groupon!
You know those cute feather headbands that are all the rage right now? Well last week I saw some really cute ones at Urban Outfitters, but they were over $20! I thought to myself, I can make that.
So this weekend…I did! And it came out pretty cute. I wore in on Saturday night for Lenora’s birthday celebration and got a lot of compliments.
I plan to head to Michael’s after work today and pick up some more feathers and get some headbands and get to work. I borrowed my mom’s hot glue gun, so I think I will be all set. I think I may “feather” some other stuff too - picture frames and other home decor. I am pretty excited to get started!
More on my Etsy page (FunkyFeathers) as soon as I make my goods and list them for sale!
